It's scarf weather

... and very conveniently, I have just finished hand-stitching 26 yo-yos onto a piece of felted woolen jumper.

I decided the fate of my floral yo-yo collection on Sunday night after realising that my recent haircut has left a bit of a gap twixt collarbone and ears, a growingly noticeable gap given the recent chilly Melbourne winds.

Of course, I do have many lovely scarves already. But this scrap of felted jumper was looking so lonely, and was definitely asking for a bit of floral-pimping.

So today, I leave the house with a cosy neck.

    Oh so pretty! I don't even know how to make a yo yo (or twenty six), so I am beyond impressed.

    I love your use of 'twixt' too lol.

    Chilly winds? Oh man, I'm going to freeze to death when I arrive 'down south'.

    I adore your scarf by the way!

    Well I hope you were ready to get stopped frequently by passers-by asking, "where'd you get that!". Really really cute Gina x

    You know, you keep doing this. Starting projects without a end plan yet it all works out beautifully. Looks great Gina, especially with that super cute cardi.

    We've just pulled all the winter woollens out here as well.

    I fear you may have reawakened my yoyo addiction with this one.

    Yours is stylin' !

    A stunning use of yoyos!
    And I agree with Mel. I would simply have to stop you to ask where it was from if I saw you on the street, :)
